Hi Doug,
Congratulations and thanks for sharing. Glad to see there was a focus on
solution and platform in your case. Is it possible to share with us
information about how you addressed issues such as patient privacy and info
protection (HIPPA), and how do you guarantee FISMA compliance for
individuals accessing the environment from outside the firewall. I am
wondering if your target audience will all need to access the virtual
environment behind the firewall for security constraints to be met, is this
the case?
Regards
